Bleeding disc brakes.

Can anyone give me some tips about bleeding my el caminos. I know they suck everyone! Please Dont tell me what i already know, I'm looking for honest advice on how to tweak these things. They cant be that bad once you get them set up good. Any advice?

Don't get that crap on your face. "Brake Fluid" is nasty.
Hopes are alot easier no doubt!
Hayes you have to reverse bleed pushing the fluid back up through the line from the caliper up to the lever,with the bleed hole on the lever pointed up.
It's a little goofy the way Hayes are bled.
Good luck...

My el caminos are really spongy after having rebuilt the master cylinder and push rod. When you rebleed a system after it is bone dry, Are you charging the caliper and line at the same time? I ran through the system after i filled it and the line was bubble free. ????

Bleeding those brakes right can be a little tricky. First, if it's the back brake it may be easiest to remove the caliper from the frame. A lot of frames route the hose in a way that there are high points in the hose where air can get trapped. I also use a syringe at the caliper to bleed them instead of the bottle hayes gives you in the bleed kit. I also use a hose olive on the hose of the syringe to keep it on the bleed screw. Push a syringe or two full of fluid through the system to get any air out of the hose. Then close the master cylinder at the lever by holding the brake lever down to the bar (I tie it down with a toe strap for convenience) and pressurize the fluid in the caliper to free up air bubble trapped down there. Make sure you have the pistons all the way out, put some old pads in the there in case you get fluid on them and hold it all in place with the plastic hayes wedge. The push fluid in with the syringe and release back (don't pull!!!) You'll see air bubbles escape back into the syringe if there's any in the caliper, repeat this step until no more air comes out. Then with lever open push another syringe or two of fluid through the system while tapping the line and lever to remove any bubble trapped in there. Quickly flicking the lever up and down also helps free trapped air during this step, but be careful not to pull air bubbles through the bleed hose back into the lever. Repeat until no more air comes out.
